Possible Causes
Improper duct balancing, closed or undersized returns, dirty filter, blower speed not matched to duct system
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting internal furnace components.
- Filter and registers: Replace the filter and ensure all supply and return registers are open.
- Balance dampers: Adjust manual dampers in branch ducts (if present) to reduce airflow to overheated rooms and increase to colder rooms.
- Fan speed: A technician can adjust blower speed taps or ECM settings to better match the duct system.
Persistent imbalance may require duct modifications by an HVAC professional.
